Win It Wednesday: Mess Saver Bib (ends 5/5)

This week’s Win It Wednesday is written by a guest reviewer: Meet my Mom, Peggy Tibbetts. You can find her at From the Styx and Advice From a Caterpillar.  Check out her great review, and find out how to win your own Mess Saver Bib.

I babysit my 15-month old grandson, Bodi. One of our main activities is lunch. Bodi is the world’s messiest eater. About a month ago, a pasta and red sauce fiasco ended up in the bathtub. After I hosed him down, I stared in horror at the high chair which was finger painted in red sauce. Bits of pasta dotted the wall. “Oh boy!” I collapsed in a heap not knowing where to begin. That’s when Bodi’s 8-year old sister Hailey, sensing my mild frustration, said, “Check this out, Nana. On the TV.”

It was a commercial for the Mess Saver™ Bib. The announcer promised that it “catches the mess before it can fall”. The lady poured a whole cup of grape juice on the tray and none of it spilled on the floor – or in the kid’s lap. I could hardly wait to get my hands on that bib.

The Mess Saver™ Bib is everything the commercial promises and more. The bib portion that goes around the child’s neck is wider than most bibs and forms a pocket between the tray portion of the bib. The pocket catches all the food parts and keeps them there. So far I haven’t found any crumbs or food on the seat cushion. I no longer have to hose down the high chair and wash the seat cushion after every meal. That has been worth the price tag alone, which is $19.95 for two bibs plus $15.90 shipping, so that’s about $17.95 each.

The tray portion of the bib is outstanding. The high cushiony sides really do keep everything on the tray, even liquids. The only disadvantage is that one size DOES NOT fit all. It’s designed for large-tray high chairs only. Be sure to look at the illustration carefully to be certain it will fit your high chair.

But wait! There’s more. Let me tell you about clean up. It’s so awesome. First I wipe up the excess liquid and food parts with paper towel. Then I unfasten the Mess Saver™ Bib from Bodi and fold it into itself in the tray. I clean up Bodi’s hands and face – and inevitably eyes, nose, ears, and hair. Afterward I dunk the bib in the dishwater in the sink, rinse it off, and hang it on the deck to dry. Voila!

I heart the Mess Saver™ Bib so much that if it didn’t fit my high chair, I’d replace my high chair.
